Snowflakes and Snow

Because it snowed a lot over a week ago it triggered (inspired is not the right word to insert here) me to work on a UFO and make more snowflakes.

Actually these are called SPOKES and I learned to make them a few years ago when it was the block of the month at Block Lotto. But they will be SNOWFLAKES made out of snowflake fabrics against a gray sky in the quilt I have in mind. I might have enough snowflakes now to finish up a top. Or not. I need to take count.

And here's a whole lot of snowflakes.

This is a picture of a ruler in the snow on our deck on Dec. 4 which melted a few days later, thank goodness. My husband loves to take pics of winter weather and garden produce. So I'll give him credit for this pic. Where he got the pink ruler is beyond me.

I did this block in 2013 as a class. For the class it was called "Snow Flakes". Very easy, very fast, very open to "improv" cutting. I did all of my "flakes" in blues---background was W O W that had white "painted balls" of different sizes on the fabric. I Love this quilt

I have been looking back through past Lotto blocks on blocklotto.com and thinking about repeating some of them next year. This one is on my list--nice to see it made in snowflake fabrics. It will be a great quilt! FYI, I called it spokes because snowflakes have six points.
